Background and approach

Maureen earned a specialty credential in hospice and palliative care, which informs how she supports people facing serious illness and loss. That background shapes a calm, steady approach to difficult topics. Her style is collaborative and person-centered.

Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals, steady skill-building, and attention to values and relationships. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thoughts, behavior, and daily routines. Maureen also draws on attachment-based perspectives to understand how early relationships influence current patterns.

She helps people notice habits that cause distress and then tries small, doable changes together. Practical topics often include sleep, problem solving, communication, and managing overload. People often come for help with caregiving stress, chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, or feeling isolated.

Maureen aims to create a space where someone can speak honestly, find clearer footing, and build steps toward a more manageable day-to-day life.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and then take small actions aligned with those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now, and it can help with communication, intimacy concerns, and feeling more supported in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maureen will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in over time and adjusts strategies if something feels off or isn't helping.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be an easier option when bandwidth is low, and live chat or messaging are helpful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers written communication. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help fit therapy into a busy life.
